At the beginning of the game, the two of them coincidentally accelerated the pace, the line changed quickly, and they were not entangled in the backhand at all, in the face of the top seed of the event, Wang Feipeng completely took the initiative whether it was a serve or a backshot, especially the backhand attack, and did not fall behind at all, which was completely different from the last fight.
In the first game, Murray's serve was actually won by Wang Feipeng to get a break point, and he cashed in the break point with a backhand attack on the run, followed by holding serve in the second game, and got another break opportunity in the third game, and successfully held the fourth game after easily breaking serve, thus taking a 4-0 lead.
It wasn't until the fifth game that Murray completed the hold and ended a nine-game losing streak. In the following matches, Wang Feipeng held on to the advantage brought by two breaks, won the eighth game on serve to win the set, and won the first set 6-2. The total time is less than 50 minutes, completely reversing the last protracted battle.
In the second set, Murray's serve rebounded, and the two sides maintained a balance of mutual protection, and the score came to a 3-3 draw. In the seventh game, Murray saved six break points in a row, but Wang Feipeng finally seized the seventh break opportunity, broke hard and held serve in the eighth game, achieving a 5-3 advantage. Then, he won the service game smoothly and went to the next set.
In the third set, after holding serve in the first three games, Wang Feipeng dominated the game from the fourth game. He seized the opportunity of Murray's slippery serve and showed his ability to return serve, breaking first with Lovegame, and then easily holding serve in the fifth game to win a 4-1 lead. Then the two sides each completed a hold, in the eighth game, Murray had to protect the service game, Wang Feipeng won the match point again, he did not waste the opportunity, and after breaking serve again, he locked the victory 6-2 and advanced to the final!
In less than two hours, the three-set match ended, and Wang Feipeng defeated the top seed cleanly 3:0 and advanced to the final! The major media who made various predictions before the game were shocked, and they thought that there would be a wonderful showdown, but the result was one-sided.
After the match, the major media have expressed their opinions, all the players in the French Open, only Wang Feipeng did not lose a set, this guy is in surprisingly good shape, even in the face of the top seed, he also has a clear advantage, and the predictions of the final have fallen to his side.
The final opponent was second seed Novak Djokovic, who had previously faced each other at the Madrid Open (ATP World Tour 1000), when Wang Feipeng eliminated his opponent in straight sets, but did not show any tricks.
So far, Wang Feipeng has no coach guidance, relying on the wild path of hard training since childhood, constantly learning in a large number of actual combat processes, and improving his skills and tactics. Before the game, he studied the opponent's playing style from the information provided by major reporters, and formulated a specific coping strategy based on the experience of the last encounter.
In order to relax himself, Wang Feipeng went to the hot springs with Tasia and her sisters and friends, tasted fine wine, and was haunted by a group of three-point beauties.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the French Open final kicked off on the Roland Garros Centre Court, and the eyes of the world were focused here, and tens of thousands of seats were filled. The weather is hazy, the clouds are thick, and the rhythm of rain seems to be very depressing.
After the two warmed up, the game began immediately. Djokovic's technique is quite comprehensive, with excellent first serve, second serve with strong spin, excellent return, stable baseline holding, balanced forehand and backhand, handling of the ball in front of the net and high pressure, all of which are excellent. What is even more rare is that Djokovic knows how to use his all-round skills to be able to mobilize opponents in terms of tactical play.
Wang Feipeng has defeated his opponent before and has not experienced his terrible, but as soon as the French Open final was handed over, he suddenly felt the pressure rushing to his face! Djokovic first took advantage of a serve with a very high success rate, turned him away, and then resolutely hit his gap, as long as he hit a very deep baseline ball, and then immediately hung the ball in front of the net, the clay court is easy to slip when it starts, and once it is mobilized, it will quickly lose its position when it runs back and forth, left and right.
Djokovic easily won the service game, and when it came to Wang Feipeng's serve, he never received a strong serve that was good in the last encounter, but at this moment he was familiar with the road, quite calm, and often played in the opposite direction, which made him fall into passivity, and the line was controlled very accurately.
With more than a month of experience in the tournament, Wang Feipeng won his first service game with difficulty, but he obviously felt a huge change in the opponent, he served on the right, Djokovic received the ball back to the left, and when he ran to the left to return the ball, the opponent immediately changed to the right side, rarely hit two repeat landing points, and the line change was very resolute, as if it had been designed in advance.
The game continued, but Wang Feipeng became more and more frightened, played so many professional games, met an opponent who had no gaps, the strong serve was invalid, and the left and right forehand and backhand pulled out a strong topspin ball, and the opponent easily counterattacked. As long as there is a gap in his position, Djokovic will definitely change the ball path at the first time, continue to attack and suppress, and finally take the initiative to score!
In the sixth game, Wang Feipeng's serve, Djokovic got two break points, Wang Feipeng sent an outside corner kick, according to the experience of previous competitions, he stood slightly to the left to prevent the opponent from attacking a straight line, but Djokovic knew his position very well, and did not hesitate to pull a small slash, Wang Feipeng had to run to the sideline of the service area to return the ball, and hit the opponent's left hand in a straight line.
Djokovic quickly ran back to the left from the right, pulled out a high-quality large arc ball with a backhand, the speed was extremely fast, the landing point was close to the bottom corner, and after landing, he turned outward, Wang Feipeng just ran two steps, and knew that the ball could not be saved, so he had to give up.
The score of the first game became 4:2, Wang Feipeng was behind and very passive, no matter how he attacked the opponent, Djokovic every time he returned the ball, he would fall in his empty position, the initiative that had just been established quickly changed hands, and then the opponent grabbed the attack, left and right back and forth, the landing point was as accurate as a textbook, and it was simply flawless.
Wang Feipeng is not good at stubble, running all over the court, through a strong serve and a balanced forward and back shot, actively changing the line, and hitting the opponent's gap, but his choice of landing point is based on the opponent's landing point and position, and the opponent's reaction speed seems to be faster than him, and his eyes don't look at it to know which position to go back to, and it must be his gap.
Despite biting his opponent tightly and fighting for every ball, Wang Feipeng was still deeply inferior, and when the two sides were compared, his line and landing point were obviously a little bit worse, and he was defeated by Djokovic 6:3 in the first set.
Sitting on the sidelines to rest, Wang Feipeng was puzzled, after two battles, why did the opponent change so much? In the last game, whether it was a continuous multi-shot pull, or a change of line to play in the gap, he always had the advantage. Now he rarely pulls back, his opponents are constantly changing, and he returns to his gap time and time again, making him extremely passive. Even if he takes the initiative to change the line, the opponent can easily counterattack, staring at his gaps, and if his serve is not too strong, with the opponent's excellent performance, he will break more than once.
In the second set, Wang Feipeng's disadvantage did not change at all, Djokovic continued to bomb his empty point, and the rotation was more effective, the landing point was more accurate than the previous time, Wang Feipeng rarely stood in a fixed position to attack, and returned the ball in the run, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the shot, the initiative was firmly in the hands of the opponent, and he only had to be beaten.
Each ball has to run back and forth back and forth, the clay court is slippery, and the physical wear is extraordinarily large, although Wang Feipeng is full of physical strength, but it is also intense, plus the additional consumption with Tasia last night, there is a situation of lack of physical strength, and the situation is more passive.
In the seventh game, Djokovic broke serve again, and then won his own service game, and the score became 5:3! Wang Feipeng adjusted his breathing, calmed down the disordered breath, and when it was his turn to serve, he was suffocated in his stomach, and vented all his anger on the serve, no longer pursuing angle and rotation, all serving in the inner corner, and blasting hard!
Although Djokovic adapts to his serve and controls the line accurately, he still seems a little passive in the face of this unreasonable cannonball-like serve, Wang Feipeng is red-eyed, and the opponent returns the ball harder, attacking the two bottom corners, fighting the last breath and winning his own serve!
After a minute and a half of rest, Wang Feipeng sat on the chair and gasped for a long time before he recovered his strength, and he couldn't understand why his opponent suddenly became so powerful, with the support of large and small exercises, he had never been exhausted of physical strength, this is the capital he is proud of! How can such a passive situation be changed? Wang Feipeng fell into distress!
Djokovic sat on a chair not far from him, Wang Feipeng accidentally glanced at it, but found that he was sitting there engrossedly, as if listening to someone's conversation, Wang Feipeng's brain was excited, his perception was keen, and he immediately noticed that something was strange.
In tennis matches, coaches are not allowed to give on-site guidance, and tactical play is formulated before the game, and it is completely up to the players to play, but Djokovic's performance seems to be under the guidance of the coach. Wang Feipeng observed carefully, the opponent listened while drinking water, and nodded slightly from time to time, did he bring a wireless headset?
Following this line of thought, Wang Feipeng suddenly became enlightened, no wonder the opponent's line was controlled so accurately, and someone reminded him in real time behind his back! The final was broadcast live, and there must have been someone nearby watching the video while guiding, no wonder he didn't raise his eyes to observe, he was able to hit his gap again and again, and every time it was the best landing point.
The wireless headset can be realized as long as a few relays are set up in the stands close to the stadium, and the video is broadcast live synchronously, with basically no delay. Where Wang Feipeng stands and where the neutral position is, he can observe it clearly through the far corner video, which is clearer than the players themselves, and there is no need to observe the opponent's running position, concentrate on returning the ball, and be naturally relaxed.
Wang Feipeng has to make a comprehensive judgment every time according to the opponent's position, movement, return route and rotation, and running, choose the landing point, and remind the professionals off-field. The opponent must have carefully studied his ball path and technical characteristics, combined with the situation on the spot, and made accurate judgments, maybe it was his coach who pointed through the wireless headset.
In this way, he is alone, but he has to face a professional tennis team, no wonder he is always passive, no matter how he changes, it is in vain, but he will exhaust his physical strength! How to solve this situation now? Why can't you complain to the referee!
And in the last game, Djokovic lost to him and was full of doubts, and he was also puzzled at the beginning, ranked second in the world and a master who achieved the feat of winning four Grand Slams in a row on New Year's Eve, why did he not fight? At that time, Wang Feipeng was in full swing, and his technical and physical fitness tended to be at his peak, even if the two played each other, his chances of winning were greater, perhaps the coach deliberately arranged for Djokovic to lose badly, inspiring his pride and contempt.
This did play a role, although Wang Feipeng did research before the game, but did not refine, delved deeply, did not pay enough attention, many tactics were temporarily solved at the game site, and he was not ready to gnaw hard bones. When he faced top seed Murray, he was more prepared and the results were obvious.
Last night, he didn't study his opponent, but went to the hot spring with Tasia and his sisters and friends, stayed up all night and messed around, his physical fitness was not adjusted to the best, and during the fierce battle, all the problems popped up in his head, so he had no time to deal with them.
How to face a tennis team nowadays is a problem that he needs to solve urgently, no matter how he runs and returns the ball, there are countless pairs of eyes staring, providing real-time to the opponent, guiding the opponent to continuously attack his own gap, not only sharply depleting his physical strength, but also in his passive situation, constantly scoring.
In the previous battle, he has been looking for a good way to break the enemy, and put it into practice, but it didn't work at all, and before he could sort it out, the tenth game began, and the second set came to Djokovic's serve to win the set!
Djokovic chased after him, Wang Feipeng pulled the opponent's right bottom corner sideways forehand, but the movement adjustment was not sufficient, the return point was not deep, Djokovic played a straight line with his forehand, the line was controlled very well, and the landing point was almost pressed line, Wang Feipeng desperately ran to the left, and the backhand was ready to pull a small arc, which was usually done as usual, at this moment the brain jumped a tendon, suddenly changed his mind, and the backhand action continued, but the moment he touched the ball, he suddenly retracted his strength and put a small ball in front of the net.
This unexpected action caught Djokovic, who had already moved to the left, off guard and did not react, and Wang Feipeng suddenly had an epiphany! Djokovic was about to serve his second ball when the sky suddenly started to rain and it was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed to show no signs of stopping.
The referee announced the suspension of the game, Wang Feipeng's heart was suddenly relieved, although he felt some tricks, but his physical fitness was not fully recovered, if he wanted to deal with a team in the game, it was far from being so simple and easy, it was raining at the moment, the game was suspended, giving him enough time to rest and adjust, God really helped!
